"Chano Dominguez is a grrreat Pianist with many of the same influences as Michel Camilo or Chick Corea or Chucho Valdez or Eliane Elias BUT much more Flamenco-oriented... this CD is my favorite one of what he has released so far that is still available !!! very Flamenco with none of the Sax or Trumpet solos that spoil, for me, most "modern" Flamenco CDs these days- just piano, guitar, bass & lotsa percussion y palmas... if you enjoy Chick Coreas' "My Spanish Heart" CD; you'll enjoy this one !!!"

Hand made... Soul made!

"if you like jazz or you like flamenco, you will love this cd because Chano fuses both influences and the result is these great compositions he brings here. All the songs are great but I specially love track #7 because he mixes many rithyms from the flamenco in jus one song, wich is very difficult to do. These is real flamenco, not as Chick Coreas`s "My Spanish Heart" which is great too but it is not real flamenco. If you love music you will enjoy this cd very much!"

Wow!

"One of the best and consistently most interesting pianists since Bill Evans and Lennie Tristano. Playing in his own idiom, great extended improvisation lines, and wonderful percussion/handclaps/etc. Cannot recommend too highly."
